FEMALE CHOIR CHÓRES

The Corfu International Festival presents, in its opening event, the female choir CHÓRES.

CHÓRES, under the artistic direction of Marina Satti, is coming to the Corfu International Festival for a unique and magical evening on Wednesday, June 21st, at the Catholic Cathedral of Saints James and Christopher (Duomo).

They will perform a dynamic polyphonic program that intertwines famous choral arrangements of traditional melodies from all corners of Hellenism with new transcriptions of folk songs, specially written for the ensemble by distinguished contemporary composers. CHÓRES approach this diverse repertoire with a fresh and unconventional perspective, which characterizes the steadily rising trajectory of this unique ensemble, illuminating the traditional musical material in contemporary and unexpected ways and highlighting the distinctive vocal and kinetic abilities of its members.

The concert program includes works by Michalis Adamis, Giannis Giannakos, Eleonora Zacharia, Giannis Ioannidis, Alexandros Kapsokavadias, Petros Klapanis, Alexandros Ktistakis, Martha Mavroidi, Alkis Balta, Laios Bardos, Christos Samarás, Nikos Skalkotas, Angelos Triantafyllou, and Philippos Tsavalos.

The ensemble is conducted by the chief musician Eirini Patsea, and the choreography is curated by the choreographer Stavros Ikmpal.
